I walked down the hall to the guest room where Sara was staying. I knocked lightly. âSara, are you up?â
She opened the door with a bright smile. âI am! I was just coming to find you. I was hoping we could go for a walk in the woods.â
I laughed. âOf course. Do you want to get breakfast first?â
âMaybe something light.â She shrugged.
âYouâre in America,â I teased. âWe love breakfast.â
âTrust me, I havenât forgotten the last breakfast we had here. I think Iâm still full from those pancakes.â
âWhy donât we make a couple of coffees to go?â I suggested. âIâm not quite as tough as you. I need caffeine in the morning.â
We made our way down to the kitchen and grabbed a couple of Stanley mugs and filled them up. I snatched one of the muffins from the counter with Sara doing the same.
We walked out the back door and followed the path that led into the woods. The warm morning air filled our lungs as we strolled leisurely through the dense trees, the sounds of chirping birds and rustling leaves creating a soothing melody around us.
âItâs so humid,â Sara said.
I laughed. âWelcome to South Carolina. Usually, around July, we live in the pool.â
âWe have a beautiful estate that we visit a lot in the summer,â Sara said. âNext year, youâll be with us hopefully.â
âIf Warren and I do marry, will you be going into the season next year?â
âThatâs the intention,â she said.
âIf youâre married, youâre going to be moving away,â I said. âOr will your husband be moving into the palace? That could be fun! I vaguely remember the place, but I know itâs huge. We can have a coupleâs night. You can help show me the ropes.â
She smiled. âI have no idea what the plan will be or who Warren is going to marry me off too.â
âBut because youâre a princess, youâll have to marry a king or prince.â
Sara nodded. âThatâs how it usually goes. But you never know, maybe Iâll surprise everyone and marry a commoner.â
I chuckled at the thought. âThat would certainly shake things up in the royal circles.â
We walked in silence for a moment, enjoying the peacefulness of the woods surrounding us. The sunlight filtered through the towering pine and cedar trees, casting a warm glow on the narrow path ahead.
âDo you ever feel overwhelmed by all of it?â I asked suddenly.
âAt times, yes. The weight of expectations, the constant scrutiny. It can be suffocating. Are you worried about being queen?â
âI worry about your people accepting a foreigner,â I said. âAnd being put right into the queen role. What if no one wants me to be on any of the charity boards or other duties Iâm supposed to do?â
âYouâre worrying way too much about this stuff,â she said. âWarren isnât going to throw you to the wolves. Heâs going to take care of you.â
âI guess Iâm getting way ahead of myself. I donât even know if Warren and I are going to make it down the aisle.
